It is wild weather here in Vancouver. The wind is blowing at over 40 klms per hour and is pouring rain as well. Just walking to mom's was, as if, there was someone in front of me pushing at me. And I am a 200 lbs man.
Last night. I finally gave mom a good valentines dinner, plus chocolate. And mom enjoyed every bit of it. The pasta I make for her. Stuffed cannelloni, with shrimp and beef, and ricotta cheese, smothered in a home made marinara sauce. All home made. I have a pasta machine, which I don't get to use that often. OK, I don't have the time, or I don't make the time. Friday night, I had the time, I was doing mom's and my laundry. So three loads and then the dryer time.
Needless to say I was up until 3 am doing all this. I needed to get the laundry done. I didn't put the sauce on it until the morning and baked it. As the sauce tastes better the next day. I now I have extra sauce which I froze for future dishes.
Well mom was full last night and tired. I got her changed for bed. The staff put her into bed, then I gave mom her spa treatment, while I gave her some of the chocolate, I bought for her. All good. I sang to her, I haven't been doing this as much lately. I need the practice. I am sure mom slept well. She was asleep when I left.
Today, is bath day. And I made mom a 4 cheese and mushroom omelet and toast. Mom ate all of this, plus her usual avocado and most of the dinner she was served from the home.
I don't eat like this, at all. I make things for mom that are nutritious and healthy. I need mom to eat healthy and different from what is served to her. Which is not very good. They offered me, a dinner tonight, I tired it and well, very disappointed. As they are all like this.
Mom is very happy and healthy. Well dressed. I am doing everything I can for her. OK, I really believe I can do so much more. Mom wants me to stay a little longer at night. But I have to leave. I have to leave. This I am not impressed about.
Mom is all I have left for family, so I must make sure she is treated well.
I have been trying to find a place out their for a very long time. I am even willing to take a shared accommodations. But all the individuals who have responded to my add, have homes way out of the way. So I still continue to look.
I want to share a few things from the bible. These I received the other day, from a daily devotional emails
GOD Bless and good night

Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of Mine, you did for Me. — Matthew 25:40
If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person? Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth. — 1 John 3:17–18
What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save him? Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to him, ‘Go, I wish you well; keep warm and well fed,’ but does nothing about his physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead. — James 2:14–17
